It's crazy to think that at only 31 episodes in, I've been lucky enough to have another FE artist join me for a chat. Phonte and Zo! have worked together extensively over the years via The Foreign Exchange, and we dive deep into his new project(s) FourFront and their era-and-genre-hopping work on the new IFC series Sherman's Showcase. We chat a bit about how the guest list on this new record came together and we reminisce about how we both encountered 27 inches of snow back in Maryland 10 years ago

2019/08/21

This episode I sit down with Bishop Nehru to talk about his love/hate relationship with New York, his ability to see/hear colors via music which aids him in identifying notes or keys, and racial tension in America and beyond. If you just take the time to ask supergenius people, you'll notice that they, their learning process, the way they process information, is slightly different. It's really interesting to see the people who do and the people who don't. He's got a new EP coming out and a full

Chordandjocks is a 24-year-old producer from central Arkansas who caught my attention and I wanted to sit down and talk about navigating through marching band in high school to finding himself in his college days producing music. Other topics we touch upon is discussion of Chance the Rappers' new album, one where although the production style of the songs changes throughout the album, many of the tracks continue to contemplate the ups and downs of romantic relationships.

2019/08/07

Oh man, Mega Ran is in the building! Fresh from Comic Con, we have a serious chat about black representation through video games and he then lets me know we shouldn’t be so dismissive of the idea that a renowned rapper draws inspiration from video games. We chat about progression of todays youth, reflecting back on his days as a teacher, and we chat about his future which includes a brand new podcast entitled ‘Random Encounters’, a published book by the years end and the beginning stages of his new

This leads us down a winding road of social media culture, the self loathing nature of artist and aspects of professionalism, Nas beat selections and his own love affair with funk music. We run the gamut on numerous musicians like Benson slowly but surely developing into a jazz

2019/07/24

This episode I put the spotlight on rising artist, writer, and producer Matt Rose. We chat about soul music, the balancing act of co-producing your own records, and growing up in the church. It’s a strange thing to ponder something like D’Angelo‘s Brown Sugar in terms of its influence–musical or cultural–over the 20 years since initial release but we dive into Kaytranada & Leon Bridges comparisons and how its impacted him as his own musical influences. After all, his single “Apology” aims to

The almighty King I Divine joins me for a sit-down to chat about authenticity in hip-hop, not conforming to a certain sound, and staying true to yourself. We also tackle the Kanye/Chaka Khan sampling fiasco, Madlib using an iPad to craft an entire album and what to expect from Divine Scienze III.

This week Jansport J ( prod. credits Ab-Soul, Ty Dolla Sign, Hit-Boy, Kool G Rap, Snoop Dogg) swings by to talk about his newly released album, Low. From scraping over 15 tracks of the album, and being comfortable enough to delay it until he was happy with it, its a great lesson in personal fulfillment. We run it back to Covina, California growing up, finding inspiration from Timbaland and Dilla, to looking ahead in 2020 as he crafts his musical masterpiece...album #10. It's a deep dive into all

Dutch record producer Nicolay (born Matthijs Rook), does everything from writing, producing and engineering, to business battles and touring. You might know him best as one-half of The Foreign Exchange with Little Brother co-founder Phonte Coleman. I’ve been a personal fan of Nicolay’s for over a decade and I was very honored to sit down and navigate through those years of being a bedroom producer who just moved to the U.S. leading up to now, which is a Grammy-nominated producer that’s five albums

Tall Black Guy, one of my favorite producers of all time, sits down with me to talk about music and life. We talk about his headspace while creating music which extends into his other projects, which leads us into dipping your toe into the jazz world, and analyzing the miscommunications between a lyricist and a producer. Its an all encompassing look into the world of Mr. Terrel Wallace, who has cemented his position as a standard bearer for the current hip hop and beats scene. From Detriot, to the

Browsing Twitter on a daily basis this guy kept popping up on my timeline to the point I couldn't ignore him any longer. This weeks episode features K, Le Maestro, a talented young man on the rise who taught me that true creativity is about existence and being and giving of yourself and being honest -- true creativity.

2019/05/22

If we're talking about the definition of hip-hop you cant talk about it without mentioning authenticity. Music runs the world so if there isn't any authenticity in the music then there isn't in the world. So many people lie in their rhymes, lie about what they got, lie about who they know, pretending to be someone else. Not this episode! Don't Sleep Records employs a roster of dope MC's true to the game - and I have the resident beatmaker Phoniks joining me this week. Known for his vintage-90's

Ace da Vinci, the Chi-Town MC & producer, began developing his craft at the age of 16. Since then, he’s been building a formidable following, deepening track-listing & domineering presence in his music. As the creator of SmartMouf Ent, da Vinci has solid intentions on establishing a sound in Hip-Hop that is incomparable to most & rivaled by none. His flow can be aggressive or laid-back, and his lyrics are largely politically-charged or deeply personal anthems of self-empowerment, often both at the

2019/05/01

Forging an evolution of the “mashup” album format, producer Amerigo Gazaway’s “conceptual collaboration” projects imagine studio sessions between like artists of different genres and eras. It would be boring if we focused on the low hanging fruit though, so we navigate the conversation through his upbringing in Nashville, to traveling with his father from musical venue to venue to figure out the embedded experiences which Amerigo used to turn them into useful and powerful tools to make his music
